These domestic terrorists, "protesters" are a bunch of dump sheep. Some of these thugs actually put pipe bombs at the Congress buildings as reported on CNN.

Unbelievable!

Impressed??? 100% this wouldn't have played out that way if it was a crowd of black people storming the building.

Trump thread 2.0

Is this for real? What do you guys think about this suggestion?

https://www.cnbc.com/2021/01/06/nati...box=1609971773

Mikey invokes the 25th Amendment of the US Constitution to remove Trump?

It's a gongshow happening right now in the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C.

Timeline:

Trump incites his supporters at a rally speech to "stand in combat" at the U.S. Capitol in Washington.

Trump tweets "great Patriots"

Congress certification of the U.S. election results is delayed because rioters, Trump supporters stormed on to the U.S. Capitol and into the Capitol buildings.

U.S. Senators are evacuated to a secret location.

Washington DC police, Virginia Police, U.S. National Guard, and even FBI agents are on the U.S. Capitol now to enforce curfew from 6pm EST to 6am Thursday.

The most radical rioters are not leaving the U.S. Capitol now.

Riot police are pushing the Trump mob away from U.S. Capitol.

One woman, who was shot in the neck at the U.S. Capitol, is pronounced dead at a local hospital.

Note: Some people are discussing online about whether VP Pence invokes the 25th amendment of the U.S. Constitution to remove Trump from office because he is inciting an assault against the U.S. Capitol and U.S. democracy.

To summarize, shit just got real in Washington, D.C.

Trump wants them to invoke the 25th, because he knows that will lead more of his terrorists to riot further

BTW George W.

Quote:
"I am appalled by the reckless behavior of some political leaders since the election and by the lack of respect shown today for our institutions, our traditions, and our law enforcement."
Mitt Romney

Quote:
“We gather today due to a selfish man’s injured pride and the outrage of his supporters whom he has deliberately misinformed for the past two months and stirred to action this very morning. What happened here today was an insurrection, incited by the President of the United States. Those who choose to continue to support his dangerous gambit by objecting to the results of a legitimate, democratic election will forever be seen as being complicit in an unprecedented attack against our democracy. They will be remembered for their role in this shameful episode in American history. That will be their legacy,”
Bill Clinton

Quote:
"The assault was fueled by more than four years of poison politics spreading deliberate misinformation, sowing distrust in our system, and pitting Americans against one another. The match was lit by Donald Trump and his most ardent enablers, including many in Congress, to overturn the results of an election he lost"
Obama

Quote:
"History will rightly remember today’s violence at the Capitol, incited by a sitting president who has continued to baselessly lie about the outcome of a lawful election, as a moment of great dishonor and shame for our nation. But we’d be kidding ourselves if we treated it as a total surprise"

I'd like to say that I'm watching what's going on in disbelief but nothing about the way the USA is acting these days is unbelievable anymore.

They technically are in recess so they are still able to certify the election tonight if they can clear the building.

A reminder to not post the NSFL/NSFW video links of the woman that was shot and ultimately killed.

Trump thread 2.0

Democrat Senator Chuck Schumer announced that members of Congress will reconvene at 5pm PST/8pm EST to continue the vote count to certify the U.S. Election results.

The House and Senate buildings will be sanitized first of course.


Back to work!

Assaults on Democracy do not work!

Twitter is locking Trump's account for 12 hours due to risk of inciting violence. Cheeto can't tweet until 7am on Thursday.

Peace and quiet in Twitterverse.

(CNN Business)Twitter said Wednesday it has locked President Donald Trump's account for 12 hours, and warned for the first time that it may suspend him permanently.

Really though, think about it. How comical is it that the current president is being banned from Twitter.

I miss 20 years ago.
